What is needed to aid in the understanding between doctors and patients is a new term to replace the out-dated term of âbreak-through pain.â Some doctors are now starting to call the occasional spike in pain an âactivity-related painâ instead of a break-through pain.
Lenders often desire to place a âconfession of judgmentâ provision in promissory notes or other credit agreements. (âAttorney in Factâ) may go to the court to âconfess judgmentâ against the debtor, with the same result as if the debtor themselves appeared in court and admitted the debt. There is no need for witnesses other than the appointed Attorney in Fact and no need for evidence other than the affidavit of the Attorney in Fact.
While a court reporter transcribes the grand jury proceedings, the resulting record is sealed until such time as the court un-seals it. In many cases, a secret indictment made by the grand jury, formally charging the accused of a crime, is kept sealed until the accused has been arrested, notified of the charges, or released from jail pending trial. A secret indictment is also referred to as a âsealed indictment,â or a âsilent indictment.â There are two primary reasons for such secrecy: (1) to encourage witnesses to testify and provide evidence openly without fear of retaliation, and (2) to reduce the risk of the accused taking flight or attempting to influence the jurors.
